Is consciousness everywhere, or have philosophers like Philip Goff, Galen Strawson and popularisers like Alex O-Connor lost their mind?

In this video, leading philosophers of mind Richard Brown, Joshua Weisberg, and Ken Williford join me to dismantle the modern revival of panpsychism. We break down why the "everything is conscious" theory fails, why it doesn't actually solve the Hard Problem of Consciousness, and expose its many logical flaws.
